YESTERDAY

With 46 entries, a record, tho Manawatu Bowling Centre’s annual New Year’s pairs tournament was commenced yesterday. Play took place in dull and windy weather and in the uiternoon a little rain fell, nqt sufficient, however, to cause any interruption to the games. Four greens were utilised — Palmerston North, Manawatu, Northern and Takaro —ail of which were in excellent order and played well. Three games wero completed in each section yesterday and when the balance have been finalised post-section play will be commenced. The final is expected to be reached late on Monday or Tuesday. The usual excellent arrangements had been made for the conduct of the tournament and no hitches occurred. The secretarial duties wero capably carried out by Mr. A. F. Wimsett. Umpires at the various greens were: Messrs. !8. Laker (Palmerston North), F. Needham (Terrace End), P. Laroomb (Northern) and J. G. Radford (Manawatu). Tho majority of the rinks competing arc from clubs within the jurisdiction of the Centre. Among the outside pairs competing aro representatives of the Patea, Wanganui East, Kclburn anil Petono Clubs.

Afternoon tea was provided at each of the greens and this proved very acceptable to the bowlers. At the Palmerston North green, Mesdames Wimsett, Crouclier, -IT. A. Nash and Brown had charge of the arrangements. Mr. J. A. Nash, M.P., president ol the Centre, welcomed tho players at the central green, particularly mentioning pairs that had not been to tho tournament before.
